Joan Mellon

Joan Mellon, a native New Yorker, works abstractly in two and three dimensions. Choice and chance are at the core of Mellon’s work whether she’s exploring paint and color on a two-dimensional surface or creating sculptural objects. She has described the simplicity of her work, “as something I get to, not something I begin with” and has said, “while some of my work looks pristine, both the paintings and three-dimensional work were created in an environment of orderly chaos.”

Mellon’s paintings and work on paper are in the collections of the Franklin Furnace Archives at the Museum of Modern Art, Johnson & Johnson, New York Public Library / Artist Books & Prints, and private collectors. Exhibition highlights of her two and three-dimensional work include one-person shows in the NY Metropolitan area and group shows in the U.S. and abroad.

Joan Mellon earned her BFA from School of Visual Arts and a MA in Liberal Studies at SUNY Empire State College where she has been an adjunct mentor.
